Peugeot launches mid-range Envy trim for 208 and 2008

Peugeot has broadened its range of specifications available for the 208 and 2008 with a new Envy trim.

Sitting above Allure in the range, Envy now acts as a new mid-level specification to bring a blend between equipment and price.

Prices for the new grade start from £23,115 on the 208, or £26,165 on the larger 2008.

On the outside, Envy cars are differentiated through aluminium door sills with Peugeot lettering, and gloss black surrounds for the daytime running lights. On the 208 you’ll find 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels equipped a standard alongside a black roof, while 2008s get larger 17-inch diamond-cut alloys instead.

There are two new exterior colours, too, with Alvoa Green available on the 208 and Nazare Blue on the 2008 with both standard no-cost options.

On the inside, there are sportier front seats that would usually only be equipped on GT trim cars, trimmed in turquoise fabric. A black headlining helps to create a cocoon-like interior, too.

Both cars get keyless entry and start, a 180-degree parking camera and rear parking sensors. As on the Allure specification, Envy cars also get a 10-inch configurable digital instrument panel, and tinted rear windows.

The 208 Envy is available with both petrol and hybrid powertrains, alongside a full electric setup which starts from £24,065 after the government’s Electric Car Grant has been applied.

It’s a similar story for the 2008, which can be specified in petrol and hybrid setups alongside a full electric version. Like the 208, there’s an uplift in price for the EV, with these models starting from £29,215 in Envy specification.
